If you are going to pull them Use a heavy duty chain not a strap. Make sure no one is near you when you pull them out. Cut as much of the roots as you can befor pulling.

Holy shit. I guess it just goes without saying that you should proof read what you post at 2:30 in the morning. what I meant to say is that I would NOT use a strap because if the roots kick up it could cause damage.

BTW I have a tank chain to pull stumps with. The wire is 1" in diameter.

i was just pulling a stump out a couple of days ago with my 03 rubicon spinning all four tires on concrete and then the stump broke in half and the chain went flying
let me just say i am glaid my truck slid a little sideways prior to the chain flight off and the chain landed right next to my back tire
the chain is 1/2 inch thick link soo heavy flying object

but i also had a 30ft strap and a 10ft strap between the chain and my front bumper

1.Dig hole around stump, about 2 feet in every direction a foot or so down
2.Cut apart with chain saw or drill holes
3.Cover with gasoline or starting fluid
4.light on fire
5.Open cold beer and tell made-up or over exagerated stories
6.After a few #5's pee fire out and go to bed
